(For parents who had kids with noisy toys, what toy would you like to repeatedly throw at a brick wall?

If you don't have kids, you can put yourself in your parents shoes.  What toy of yours drove them nuts?

    Stepping on Legos was always painful and traumatizing. They always were in the strangest of places too.
    Now that "Let it Go" song from the movie Frozen always gives me anxiety and murderous thoughts.

    Oh man, dragonfly.  We go hand in hand here.  My granddaughter is into Legos now.  I hate stepping on those things!  She also loves Disney movies.  Those songs get stuck in my brain.  It goes beyond an earworm.

  • The noise makers aren't used just by kids.  I'm appalled by adults who feel it is quite ok to play their phone's TV or music functions in public places like a restaurant.

    Good point, Whistle.  It's basic courtesy, and why they come with earbuds.

    My boys had lots of noisy toys that drove me nuts but it's pay back time - got my Granddaughter a pair of drumsticks and I might try to get her interested in bagpipe music. Cheers!

    I'm pretty sure that the Geneva Convention bans people from giving bagpipes to children that don't reside in the same household. Same for accordions. You might want to check that before making that "gift".

  • I played pipes for several years. Not everyone enjoys their calling.
